On 26 April 2026 me and my 5yo "tunnel expert" visited the hidden remains of Lee Bank Tunnel, one of the lesser-known surviving tunnels from the former Great Northern Railway Queensbury Lines network near Bradford, West Yorkshire. Compared to other nearby tunnels, such as the Clayton Tunnel...

Hi, I go by aerin, I’ve been interesting in exploring and such for a while and just starting to get into it. I’m from Bradford and have a hard time finding fellow explorers to go along with, and also have a hard time finding locations to go to. If anyone around the area would like to get in...

Explored with @concreteJungle Following on from our previous trip in October 2023 we returned to Bradford for the day to see several of the parts we didn’t have time for last visit, mainly the Combined Sewer Overflows. This time we began our journey at Ingleby Road where the Beck flows...

Hello from West Yorkshire, I've lived in Bradford all my life and have always been interested in exploring so if anybody local or around the area would like to be mates and know of any areas to explore together, let me know. I'm 23 and pretty new to this sort of thing as well.

Visited a couple of months back whilst working away in Leeds. This has been closed for about fifteen years and is in a beautiful area. It has recently had a hole munched into the side; apparently needed abseiling at one point? An extremely relaxed explore on a great day of urbex...

Currently on a work placement in the north; I've made it a priority to explore as much as the north has to offer; Good, bad and in the middle. This one, for it's faults isn't too bad at all; trashed but full of charm. After an easy jaunt in, I went straight to the top and worked my way down...

Been a while! a thread on Yew Tree got bumped earlier and it reminded me I never did get around to posting my photos from here. Tweek and Eric did get some photos up but I think we managed to see different bits to them. I was intending to go back and finish the site off before I did a report but...

Hollings Mill Hasnt been covered for a while so heres a quick tour from a solo visit early 23 then a later one with my main non forum mate. Not much to this place tbh but it still makes some nice pics. Edward Hill & Co Ltd is a textile manufacturing company based in Bradford, England...

Explored with concreteJungle. It was as long ago as 2009 that I first visited Bradford with Little Mike to see what lay below the city following the course of the Bradford Beck. 14 years later it was largely the same which in many ways was a shame because one of the things that I recalled was...

Visited with @MotionlessMike & @GRONK , After a disappointing morning of unexpected failures in Leeds we headed over the road to the nearby Bradford to visit a place we had all seen around but forgot about in recent years. This underground reservoir has been around for some years and visited by...
